Programmers refer to use modern programming languages like Java, Python or Ruby for their uses, because of their powerful built-in functions and flexibility. However, sooner or later, a programmer will have to face their old fella C someday.

For me, I had to use C when I decided to write an interpreter for a programming language I am developing.

We always write these ourselves when programming in C.

Here, I wrote a code for a linked list which can be used as stack and queue and supports negative indexing. Followings are the codes hosted on Google Code:
